Summary of admissions policy

1.  Looked after and previously looked after children (evidence required)

2. Children with exceptional social or medical needs that can only be met at the school. This priority is a request for admission to the school because your child has exceptional needs that can only be met at the school. It must be supported by professional evidence (evidence required and conditions apply).

3. Children who have a brother or sister attending our school.  To get this priority, the sibling must:
•    live at the same address as the child applying
•    be attending the school and still be expected to attend the school when the child starts   
•    be a full, half, step or foster sibling (this priority does not include cousins or other family members sharing a house)
•    if an older sibling is attending our sixth form, they must have been going to the school in Year 11 to be considered as a sibling in this priority (conditions apply).

4. Children who live in the catchment priority area for the school.  The school has a defined catchment priority area.  You can see the catchment areas on a map in appendix 1.

5. Other children, by straight line distance.

You should read the full admissions policy before applying. For some criteria, you may need to send extra information.
